Awesome initiative! Made me want to bring some people together and start producing nice ebooks from the #ELTeC collections. Alas, they have an English-only policy... 😮💨 https://standardebooks.org/contribute/collections-policy
I guess the best way forward would be to copy the idea for multilingual literary texts... but of course that is harder than joining a group with established structures and workflows and experience...

@christof@fedihum.org @standardebooks@mastodon.social There’s definitely a space to be claimed for non-English texts, but I agree that starting out afresh is much harder than fitting into an existing framework.

@christof@fedihum.org @brian@beige.party @standardebooks@mastodon.social Yeah, the language restriction is kind of sad. My father would totally love that website, but his Englisch really isn't good enough. 😕
